Maggie Bergeron & Company creates dance works by connecting engaging, resonant images with intriguing movement. Our work strives to stretch perceptions of the ordinary through contrast and idiosyncratic narrative. We always work in collaboration with dancers, musicians, carpenters, sound designers, and composers and are constantly looking for others to help shape what we do.
